<p>It's mid-February, and I'm going crazy. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>ACT: 34 (E:35, M:35, R:35, S:32, E/W:35)
GPA: 4.0 unweighted
Class Rank: 1/323, although I share it with a couple of people
APs: Psychology: 5, US Government: 5 --my school only offers 2 APs...
I go to a medium-sized, public, totally noncompetetive high school. I'm not sure we've ever sent anyone to an ivy before. We do offer community college credit courses; I've taken several.</p>
<p>ECs: Band, Drama, captain of quiz bowl and envirothon teams, political campaign volunteer, science bowl, national history day, community theatre
Altogether, they're nothing extraordinary, but they were time-consuming.</p>
<p>Essays: I was told that they were pretty funny. My main common app one was about having a crazy lesbian mother in a small midwestern town and the time she raised baby goats in our basement. One of my supplements was about my lifetime interest in politics; the other was about making a prosthetic nose for a high school play. I'm not as weird as I sound...</p>
<p>Schools: Grinnell, Carleton, Macalester, Yale (I realize that it's probably not going to happen with that one...)</p>
